You can use spray basting , but it does not really need it. You can create the sandwich by first getting the back smooth. You can pin to a carpet ( right side down) or you painters tape on a smooth floor. Then spread the batting layer and smooth . Then the top right side up. Pin about every 8 inches or baste . Then tie the quilt.
When I tied a quilt I left in on the floor and tied all in one day so as not to disturb the layers , and I did not need to pin so much.
Spray basting it most effective when the quilting will be continuous and the backing may shift while going thru the machine creating puckers . With tieing there are no puckers, as there is not that continous line of stitching. Tieing is a much more forgiving way of combining the layers.
